Paula Rouco slept through the night.
When I woke up the next day, it was 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
Hung over, with a splitting headache, the back of my head felt like it had been hit hard with a steel pipe and my whole head was about to explode.
She opened her eyes and stood up with her hands resting on the soft bed.
She realized with a start that she was now in Severo’s house and that the bed she was lying on was the bed Severo Laris slept in.
“…”
The brain, with a brief blank hangover.
She remembered drinking with Susana at the bar the night before and blacking out, so how did she still have the strength to run to Severo’s house?
He smells the alcohol on his body, disgusted, but it really stinks.
Just as he was about to get out of bed, the bedroom door was pushed open.
It was Severo Laris, “Awake?”
For a moment, Paula Rouco didn’t know how to confront him and was a little hesitant, “I … how did I end up in your house?”
Speaking of which, Severo Laris wasn’t about to turn the page, sinking his face and saying, “A girl, drunk like that, how does that sound?”
If you’re bullied or raped by bad people, it’s a shadow for life.
Paula Rouco’s heart sank with anguish at his cold sermon and said, “You’re not my boyfriend, what’s it to you?”
Severo Laris’ eyes were disgruntled, “Have you forgotten all about last night?”
“What happened last night?”
She couldn’t rape him while she was drunk, could she? She wasn’t that capable.
Severo Laris pulled out his phone, played the recording he had saved the night before and pressed play.
The sound of her drunken antics came intermittently through the phone.
“Severo … I like you … I will always like you…”
“Give me a kiss.”
“One more kiss.”
“Severo …”
Paula Rouco’s little face turned red with fever!
It’s so humiliating! She certainly didn’t say those words! She must have been spiritually penetrated last night!
She ran to her and tried to grab the phone from Severo Laris’ hand, but he was so tall that he saw her coming and raised his arm.
Paula Rouco jumped up to continue the grab, and Severo Laris, fearing she would fall, slipped an arm around her hips as she jumped, so that she hung on him like a little kangaroo, both legs wrapped around his waist.
She didn’t realize for a moment how ambiguous this position was. She just put one hand around his neck and continued to grab the phone from his hand with the other.
“Severo, give it to me! No more releases!”
Is he a lawyer by profession? How dare he record! Shame on him!
Severo Laris, seeing how angry and shy she was, did not continue to mock her and handed her the phone, “Here you go.”
Paula Rouco took it with a snort and pressed the pause button.
She was about to erase it when Severo Laris raised an eyebrow and sneered, “Aren’t you curious about what you told me last night?”
She tapped the phone to delete it, paused, and was very curious when Severo Laris said that.
Paula Rouco bit her lip, her watery eyes stared at him, “Attorney Severo, do you know you’re breaking the law?”
“Against the law? What kind of law is that against?” Severo Laris looked amused at her angry little face.
“You’ve recorded without my knowledge and stored it, you … you have an ulterior motive! You’re trying to grab me so you can threaten me later!!!?
With her whole body hanging on him, Severo Laris opened his arms wide and said, significantly, “Now this, do you have an ulterior motive, or do I?”
Paula Rouco then realized how close she was to him at that moment and, with a hot little face, jumped off him in a hurry.
“You didn’t provoke me on purpose, or I wouldn’t have jumped up and grabbed the phone.”
Severo Laris approached her, “Give me the phone.”
Paula Rouco grabbed her phone and hid it behind her back, “No! You have my humiliation stored in your phone, and to prevent you from publishing it, so now your phone, must be in my custody.”
A slight smile crossed Severo Laris’ eyes, well, let him keep it, knowing she was trying to sneak in what she herself had said about the alcohol the night before.
When she was done listening to it, she’d surely delete it, but she’d also kept a hand and backed it up long ago.
Severo Laris went to the kitchen and ordered, “Go wash up, I’ve made porridge.”
She had been drunk all night and now had an empty stomach, so she thought she would have a mouthful of porridge.
When she came out of the bathroom to wash up, the bowl of hot porridge was already on the table, along with delicious little dishes that made you hungry to look at them.
Before long, the bowl of porridge was finished, she was so used to being served at home that she took the empty bowl and handed it over unconsciously when she finished, “More!”.
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that the other person was Severo Laris. She looked up, met his playful gaze and tried to take it back, but the bowl in her hand had already been taken away by Severo Laris.
Severo Laris helped her with another bowl of porridge.
Paula Rouco’s second bowl of porridge was eaten slowly and she explained, “Actually … I’m not usually such a good eater, I haven’t eaten anything since last night and I’m too hungry so…. ”
That’s why it took two bowls.
For Severo Laris, porridge doesn’t fill his stomach and since he is so thin, it’s good to eat more.
The atmosphere was uncomfortable and Paula Rouco ducked her head lita eat her porridge.
Thinking about the night before … she looked sharply at Severo Laris.
“By the way, where is Susana! I was with her last night.”
Severo Laris cackled, “Now you remember Susana?”.
“…”
“Susana is fine, last night I had Rufio put her to bed at the hotel, you know, one of you is unruly enough, I can’t cater to two drunks at once.”
“…” That he’s an alcoholic! He’s not!
But … how rowdy was she last night?
She hadn’t made a fool of herself in front of him, had she?
When she finished her porridge, Severo Laris cleaned up the dishes and while Severo Laris went to the kitchen, Paula Rouco lay down on the sofa and listened to the recording until the end.
After listening to this, her face turned red to the point of dripping blood.
In front of Severo Laris, she has no reservations!
When Severo Laris came out of the kitchen, Paula Rouco had erased the recording and handed the phone back to him.
“Give it back!”
Severo Laris hitched his lips slightly, “You know all that, do you know how rowdy you were last night?”
“… That, that’s not because of you.”
If it wasn’t for him harassing her, misbehaving with her and mistreating her with Engracia, why would she have gone to the bar to get drunk.
The moment Paula Rouco turned around, Severo Laris took her small hand in his.
“Even if you get mad at me, you can’t go to bars to get drunk again, there are all kinds of people in places like bars, you’re a girl in case you get harassed…”
Before Severo Laris could finish his words of education, Paula Rouco glared at him and asked him seriously, “Severo Laris, in what capacity are you educating me now? If this is the identity of a common pupil, then no, we don’t know each other well.”
The girl whimsically pulled her hand away and was grabbed again by Severo Laris: “You don’t know me well and like me?”.
“… If you don’t like me, from now on, I won’t like you either.”
Severo Laris lowered his eyes and looked at her with a deep and helpless look, “So your likes and pursuits were all half-hearted?”.
“…”
Paula Rouco pursed her small lips and said accusingly, “Who told you to kiss Engracia, you’re done with Engracia, I would despise myself if I still pursued you…”
When had she ever been so insistent on pleasing anyone since she was a child?
It was all about others trying to get close to her and please her in every way possible.
